Be it known that I, JAMES P. FARRELL, a citizen ofthe United Statesand a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Bedstead and Table, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of furniture that may be changed when desired to fill theirrespective duties. I

My object is to so construct a bedstead that it may be used as a table or settee, if desired, and so combined as to make a neat and useful article of furniture, .which will be hereinafter- 'Fig. 2- represents a front elevation in section;

Fig. 3, an end view in section; Fig. 4, back of settee when detached. Figs. 5 and 6 show dif ferent views when used as a table. Fig. 7 represents an end view in section when extended as a bedstead. Fig. 8 represents angle-rest frame detached. detail parts enlarged and in section.

A represents the main frame, to which the movable seat-frame B is attached by dovetail grooves or slides 1, and to the upper part of said frame A the revolving bar 0 is secured, in which the guides 2, on the underside of the top D, move freely by passing through corresponding grooves in bars 0, and enabli ngthe top D to be raised easily and adjusted to any angle desired, as shown in the different views. The guides 2 are provided with detent or notch a and stop I), as shown in Fig. 7, to prevent top D sliding back when in a horizontal position, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

WVhen closed, to be used as a settee or bedstead, the top D is placedin a vertical position down the back of frame A. When desired to be used as a flat-top table, the top D is drawn over and one edge supported on the upturned hinged seat 3, the said seat 3 being held in a vertical position by the spring-catch at, securedto the inside of the arm E, and the seat is secured to the under side of the top D by a catch-hook, 10.

Figs. 9, 10, and 11 represent When an incline table is desired, the seat 3 is turned down and the top D allowed to rest on the arm E, as shown in Fig. 6, the said arm being provided with an extension-knob, 12, which allows any angle to the top D to be obtained byraising or lowering said knob 12.

If a lower tableis required, the frame A may be turned over on its front, as shown in Fig. 5, which will bring the top D into a horizontal position, the height being the width of the frame A, and may be raised to any angle desired, and held there by the retaining stop frame 5, resting in the notches e, the said into a vertical position to form a shelf, as sh own in Fig. 3, for laying samples or other articles upon. The back 9, being in a vertical position,"

is raised upward,'the dowels h and h traveling in the vertical slot 00 until the dowel h enters the horizontal slot 00, when it is drawn forward until the dowel it rests against the top of the slot 00, the top of thesaid slot 00 being'in line with the slot as.

To use the article for a bedstead, the top D is placed in a vertical position back of the frame A, and the frame B is drawn out, as

shown in Fig. 7. The seat 3 is then turned upside down on the pivots 6, the same travel- 1 ing along in the groove 7, which brings the springs 8 on the top. The back 9 is then lowered to fill up the space left by drawing out the frame B. The said back 9is also provided with springs 8 upon its reverse side, which will be on the upper side when lowered. When thus arranged, it is ready for the mattress or bedding.

Under the seat 3 and in the frame B is placed a drawer, 13, in which the bedding may be stored when not in use. The same may be removed from the drawer by raising the small part of the seat 14. The said drawer may be used as a receptacle for a commode, if desired,

When the article is constructed in the form of 100 any part of the construction described therein.

a settee. Thus it will be seen I am by this combination enabled to construct a neat and useful article of furniture and adaptable to various uses.

I am aware of tablebedsteads being used as shown by Letters Patent granted to W. B. Jones, May 4, 1869, No. 89,7 76; but I disclaim I do not claim under this application for Letters Patent anything that I have claimed in my former patent granted to Farrel], May 25, 1886, No. 342,343, (folding tables.)

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a combined bedstead and table, the frame A, having the upright posts and arms E, and provided with a movable back, 9, in combination with the frame B, constructed to close within the frame A when not extended, the said frame B having the reversible hinged seat hinged thereto, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. In a combined bedstead and table, the

. provided with transverse grooves to receive said guides, which are provided with the deten'ts a and stop I), substantially as and for the purpose specified.

3. In a combined bedstead and table, the frame A, having the upright posts, in combination with the bar 0, pivoted to the upper end of said posts, and provided with transverse slots, the top D, having guides on its under 5 side, hinged at one-end to the said top and working in the slots on the bar 0, and supporting-rods 5,,hinged to theguides 2, substantially as and for the'purpose specified.

Signed at New York, in the county of New 40 York and State of New York, this 18th day of January, A. I). 1886.
